The Light in your Eye

[@JohnSpaulding]

Such a tiny element of an image, but what an effect. As a paramedic, we learned that the eyes are the window to the soul, and this film shows the reflex so well.

Luke II:34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light: but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.

3:23 - Basics of eye direction. 4:19 - Reflections in the eye. Here, Weigart takes a look at various reflections inside the eye and what each is expressing. 5:13 - Getting into lighting setups. The most common reflection is in the top of the iris, around 2:00. Weigart argues that the smaller and more point-sourced that reflection is, the more aggressive it reads. 6:25 - Vertical fluorescent eye reflections and LED ring-light. 7:00 - Larger sources result in smaller reflections in the eye because the eye is spherical. For large reflections, use smaller or closer lights. 7:19 - Natural reflections, as from large windows and soft looks. 7:30 - Adding a second reflection to the eye to create a "pensive" look. 8:01 - Creating a gentle, loving expression. 8:59 - The direction of the look. 10:50 - Adding colored light to the eyes for the "Dracula effect." 11:40 - The cat's eye look using two vertical sources. 11:55 - LED ring-light effects. 12:10 - Old-fashioned film noir effects (selecting lighting around the eye). 14:04 - Creating a sparkle in the eye by using a custom light source (not too small or large).

Thank you for sharing the depth of your knowledge about light, shadow and its application!

This is gold

[@bananasandbass]

What a resource, great examples and variety and explanation of the application and effect it will have on the viewer. I was looking for just catch light examples in cinematography. But this shows a wide range of practices.

BRAVO!

My current ex that I am still with in friendship or whatever this is.... He has a white dot of light in the iris but away from the center.... Could you tell me what that could possibly be? I can't find any videos of what that is..... Actually the light occurs in the white of the eye. It comes from inside of the eye. Please if you know, please tell me what this could be!

awsummm

And sometimes the catchlight takes away from what you want to say. I have reduced and even removed the catchlight. But then I am a weird stills photographer.

[@ChrisThompsonphotography]

YES.

[@D4ni3lS4nk3]

[@oblivion5801]

Nooo... Don't look straight into my eyes. That makes me feel uncomfortable. I think I understand wolves
